While advances in amplifier technology
(Power Doubling, Feedforward) have
greatly altered the components a housing
must contain, and new installation configurations
(pedestal, vault) have altered
the environment in which a housing
must function, the housing itself has
changed very little. Results from computer
modeling suggest alternatives for
housing design to meet these more demanding
requirements.
